John 9:34

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 9:34. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins,

It is the old rule, "Abuse the plaintiff." Nothing could be said. Now abuse the man. He has answered you, and his arguments are too hard for you. Now throw hard words at him. "Thou wast altogether born in sins."

John 9:34. And dost thou teach us?

Wonderful, that "us." "Dost thou teach us?" Folly, ignorance, and pride go together. This man, in the simplest and most unaffected manner, had told his tale and urged his argument, and now they abuse him and exalt themselves. "Dost thou teach us?" No, great Pharisees, he does not teach you, for you will not learn.

John 9:34. And they cast him out.

That is the last argument. Out with him. Now we have defeated him.
